Anyone who didn't know better would be scared away by her affected and pretentious manner.
But she's always like this in front of Di Jingling. If she suddenly becomes normal, wouldn't that make people suspicious?
She hugged the man from behind.
She wrapped her arms around him.
Such overly intimate actions resembled those in melodramatic romantic dramas she had watched before.
They are exactly the same.
The female protagonist begged the unfaithful male protagonist not to leave, but he hardened his heart, pulled her away, and walked off without looking back...
She's so immersed in the role that she can't quite pull herself out of it now.
As Di Jingling listened to her unrestrained thoughts, he became increasingly speechless.
Slowly, the large hand landed on the small hand at the waist.
Xiao Tang: [Emma...you're not really going to play the heartless man I have in my mind, are you?]
Immediately afterwards...
The man pulled her small hand away.
"Are you serious?"
As a result, the man turned around in front of her.
He picked her up by the waist and placed her on the table.
His large hand firmly gripped the back of her head, and his thin lips suddenly pressed down, capturing her head as she turned it.
Xiao Tang was stunned by the unexpected kiss.
That's amazing!
Isn't this moment romantic enough?
I must hurry and put my confession plan on the agenda!!!
Hesitating, she tried to part his thin lips, her breath unsteady as she said, "My lord, aren't you curious about why I've traveled so far to come here?"
"For what?" I asked casually.
He gently turned her small face to the center with his large hand.
He met her shifty eyes.
If it weren't for the slight blush on the tips of her ears, he would never have been able to tell she was shy just by looking at the disguise mask.
Xiao Tang licked the corner of her lips, genuinely shy.
This was her first time... confessing her feelings.
"My lord, I have something to tell you, which is... I want to answer what you said last time."
man:???
He looked confused.
"My lord, I...I love you, I truly love you~"
[Waaaaah, I finally said it! I was so nervous~ The villain will be so touched by my earnestness.]
She secretly glanced at him.
But I saw that he was frowning.
【？？？】
What kind of expression is that? Are you questioning me???
"Why is Tangtang suddenly telling me all this?"
[...]
[Big brother, I'm confessing my love! I'm confessing my love!!!]
The romantic atmosphere she had just been enjoying was shattered by the villain's blunt, masculine question.
Forget about confessing her feelings, her shyness from just now has completely vanished.
【┭┮﹏┭┮】
[So, did my confession fail?]
Di Jingling took a moment to realize what was going on...
Is his Tangtang serious?
Is it true?!
Is this not a dream?
He stroked her face with his large hand, but it was a pity that this was not her original appearance; otherwise, he would really like to see her expression at this moment.
Xiao Tang pouted.
I felt extremely wronged.
[Beep... Host, the mission is not yet complete; more effort is needed.]
【Oh my god! Why didn't it finish? Isn't this romantic?】
[Yes! Host! You're just a tiny bit short of reaching the romantic standard.]
[You cunning system, you're just being wise after the event.]
Xiao Tang cursed inwardly.
Can……
The man in front of her suddenly turned cold.
He withdrew his hand from her face.
Xiao Tang: "??? Husband?"
"Are you speaking from the heart?"
"Of course it's real, even more real than pearls!" Why did she feel that the villain didn't quite believe her?
The man simply nodded silently and then left.
Xiao Tang stared at the villain's back, her head full of questions.
What happened to him?
This is the first time I've ever confessed my feelings so badly.
She had expected Di Jingling to be overjoyed, but he wasn't.
The scene she had imagined—where the man would say to her, "Tangtang, I like you too," and hold her tightly in his arms—did not happen.
His reaction was completely unexpected.
Xiao Tang: "..."
Something's not right.
...
When Di Jingling left the villa, he ran into Yan Shi, who had returned.
"Your Highness!" Yan Shi was thrilled to see him.
Suddenly, I noticed that the prince's expression was a bit somber, and his face was a bit dark.
What's going on?
Yan Shi secretly glanced at the prince, utterly puzzled.
Di Jingling glared at him intently: "Did you bring her here?"
"Uh... no, it's because the princess found out you were in Forget-Worry City, and she traveled all the way here without stopping. She was so worried, afraid that something might have happened to you."
Yan Shi can say with absolute certainty that he is not exaggerating at all.
The princess was indeed very worried.
On the way, he kept muttering to himself, "I hope nothing bad will happen to the prince."
Di Jingling merely gave a low, self-deprecating laugh.
That's what he initially thought too.
He was overjoyed when he first saw Xiao Tang standing at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
But……
When he learned that she had only come to tell him she liked him because of the strange task assigned by the system, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head.
That's not true.
Even if he wanted to comfort himself, he couldn't truly believe it.
He gave a soft "hmm": "Protect her well."
After saying that, he strode away.
Yan Shi was puzzled.
Isn't it said that absence makes the heart grow fonder? Why did the prince leave so abruptly? Did the princess and the prince have a fight?
